said by BF69  :Seriously I think you must be stupid. Let's just say everyone pirated everything. Would new stuff ever get made? If you think so why? What is the motivation to create new movies, Tv shows or music if the artist won't get paid? what just to please you? If your boss said from now you you will work but not get paid, how long would you stay at that job? Not long. Let's just say that the amount of crap that gets funding (honestly, how many good movies get made? 5%? How many good cds? 2%?) proves that the industry is too rich still.
I wish that people would stop paying for the crap they produce.
Also, their problem is not people making copies, it's their business model that doesn't work. Great movies still register great sales (record sales even). People will buy the good stuff. It's the bad stuff that gets killed by the copying (since then people can watch it without paying and won't get their greens out for crap). |

said by karlmarx :Actually, songs sell at a fraction of that cost. Try mp3sparks.com, it's less than .05 cents per song. Sorry I choose legal stuff.
And movies? FREE, from netflix. Just save the stream, and you have a movie that you PAID FOR (by subscribing to NexFlix). is the netflix subscription free? No. Saving the stream = ILLEGAL.
Granted, in your world, the megacorps control what you watch, when you watch it, where you watch it, and how much you pay, EVERY TIME you watch it. But the good news is, they don't control the rest of the world. And the REST OF THE WORLD has determined that the prices they charge in the US, well, just aren't worth it.
A pirated work != Lost Sale, much to their dismay.
In your world everything is handed to you you don't have to work for everything while everyone works to provide you everythig and not get paid. No such thing as a free lunch buddy. You'll learn that one your join grown up world.

I swear some of these people here must secretly be fans of Karl Marx. |
